1-7 CHIPSETØ ALi M1647 Overview
The M1647 is a high performance, high value North Bridge that supports
all Athlon family processors. Internally all 128-bit architecture with
optimization for S2K bus, DDR and AGP4X interface, the M1647 has
outstanding high system performance under all types of system operations.
The M1647 North Bridge, coupled with one of ALi’s widely adopted PCI
South Bridge devices (M1535D+) provides a flexible and scalable
motherboard core logic solution to fill all applications.
The M1647 supports all Athlon family microprocessors. Processor bus
speeds of 66MHz to 133MHz are supported. This interface has 16 entries
for outstanding processor commands and system probe commands. This
interface supports FID change protocol for mobile purposes.
The M1647 can support up to 3.0 GB of SDRAM or DDR-SDRAM main
memory. Supports any combination of 66/100/133MHz memory bus
frequency and CPU bus frequency with minimized internal protocol
handshaking overhead, the M1647 provides a flexible system application.
In addition to dynamic memory power down, the M1647 also supports a
dynamic gated clock for the internal chipset logic circuitry, which will
reduce the system power consumption for mobile applications. The m1647
support the CAS-before-RAS refresh scheme and Self-refresh scheme
during normal mod and suspend mode, respectively.
The memory access controller plays a key role of dispatching the job to
the memory interface. By using a two-level dynamic arbitration scheme,
the M1647 fulfills multiple demanding sources that need access to the
main memory with balanced latency and maximum throughput. Another
important role of the memory access controller is the integration logic
between the AGP interface and main memory to support the AGP memory
address to physical memory address translate. To fulfill this function, the
M1647 uses 128 entries and 16 tags to implement a one level GART
(Graphic Address Re-mapping Table) scheme.
The M1647 supports all features of the AGP version 2.0 specification.
Motherboard Description SY-K7ADA
10
This boosts the graphic benchmarks into another era for professional
graphics usage. The M1647 design is capable of supporting 28 outstanding
AGP commands (depth of command queue=28) and buffering 64QW for
AGP master read operations.
The M1647 is fully compliant with the PCI 2.2 specification. Flexible PCI
latency control allows the M1647 to achieve improved system
performance.
The M1647 PCI host interface features a flexible PCI latency controller
that allows a system to be tuned for the best system performance possible.
The m1647 also features an enhanced PCI arbiter that implements a fair
arbitration scheme based on a PCI and time slice mechanism. In addition
to itself and the South Bridge, the M1647 can support up to six addition
PCI masters. This gives designers the ultimate in flexibility when deciding
what combination of PCI slots and on board PCI peripheral devices to use.
One of these six PCI master channel can be assigned to a higher priority
than other five PCI masters in order to fulfill the demands of some special
real time devices, e.g. 1394 isochronous transmissions, when accessing
main memory.
Dark Green Power Management functions such as Power on Suspend,
Suspend to RAM, Suspend to Disk, PCI bus CLKRUN and Dynamic
Clock Stop are all supported. The M1647 provides the most flexible power
management capability available in any chipset.
Ø ALi M1535D+ Overview

LAN connector. The NIC monitors network traffic at the Ethernet
interface; upon detecting a Magic Packet, the NIC asserts a wakeup signal
that powers up the computer. This feature uses the Wake on LAN
connector.
*CAUTION
For Wake on LAN, the 5-V standby line for the power supply must be
capable of delivering +5V ±5 % at 720 mA. Failure to provide adequate
standby current when implementing Wake on LAN can damage the power
supply.

2-3.10 Troubleshooting at First Start
Video (no display) related issuesI built a new computer system using a Soyo board and nothing
happens when turning it on, no video and no beeps from the PC
speaker. What is happening and how can it be fixed?
No screen and no beeps mean that your CPU and motherboard do not
work at all. It could be that the CPU is not seated correctly or that a
component on the M/B is grounded (shorted) with the case. Also make
sure to check the voltage setting switch (110V/220V) on the back of the
power supply. To isolate the problem do the following:
1. Press and hold down on the “Ins” (insert) key while turning on the
computer until you get video. If you do not get video then,
2. Double-check jumpers setting on you motherboard and remove all
add-on cards, unplug all hard-disk and floppy-disk drive cables and see if
you can hear some beeps. If you still do not get any beeps, then try putting
the motherboard on the table (to isolate it from the case) with the CPU and
speaker only, and give it one more try.
I hear a series of beeps and I do not get anything from my monitor.
What could be wrong?
The following lists some basic beep codes and their possible meanings:
• One long beep and 3 very short beeps - The video card is not
detected by the motherboard. Please re-seat your video card. If
you are using an AGP card, please push your AGP card down
real hard. You may have to push VERY hard without the AGP
card mounting screw. Make sure not to insert the card the other
way around.
• Continuous beeps – One or more of the memory modules is not
seated correctly in its socket.
BIOS Setup Utility SY-K7ADA
43
My PCI VGA card works fine with my system, but when I put in a
new AGP card, it does not give me any video. Is my AGP slot bad?
This is a common problem with AGP video cards. The reason is that your
AGP card did not get seated into the AGP slot fully and firmly. Please
push your AGP card down into the socket real hard, it should snap twice.
You may have to unscrew the AGP card to allow the card to go further
down. Do take care not to damage the card by using too much force.
I get distorted video my AGP card right after I save my bios. Why is
that?
The cause is likely that your AGP card is not running at the correct bus
speed. To fix this, please clear the CMOS ALi JP5 and if it still does not
work, please upgrade your motherboard bios to the latest version.
BIOS IssuesWhere can I find the BIOS revision of my mainboard?
It will be displayed on the up-left corner on the screen during boot-up. It
will show as your board type followed by the revision number, such as
5EH_2CA1 (meaning revision 2CA1 for the SY-5EH board) or 6BA+
IV_2AA2 which means SY-6BA+ IV motherboard with 2AA2 bios.
Where can I find the latest BIOS of my motherboard?Please go to the technical support page of one of the SOYO websites(Taiwan: www.soyo.com.tw), and look up your motherboard to findthe latest BIOS revision.
Hard disk, floppy drive, CD-ROM etcWhen I boot up my new computer I got "floppy boot failure" and the
LED on the floppy stays on
Make sure the red wire of floppy ribbon cable goes to Pin1 on the floppy
drive side (don't trust the "key lock" or "notch") and use the end-connector
of the cable (don't use middle one).
Modem issuesI get an "I/O Conflict" message when I turn on my system and I can
not get my modem to work
BIOS Setup Utility SY-K7ADA
44
What you need to do is to disable 'COM2' (or UART2 or serial port 2) in
the bios under integrated peripheral setup.
I have installed my modem drivers several times and I still cannot get
my modem to work. Why?
If you are sure that the modem driver has been installed correctly, then you
need to install the south bridge driver from the SOYO CD, this is because
Windows does not properly recognize relatively new chipsets.
Audio IssuesI do not get any sound from my sound card. What could be wrong?
Please make sure the speaker is connected to the speaker out port on your
sound card.
In Device Manager, I keep getting yellow exclamation signs on my
sound port even though I have installed my sound driver several times
and I could not get my sound card to work. What is wrong?
It is likely that you did not have the correct driver installed. If you are sure
that the correct sound driver has been installed, then please install the
'south bridge' driver for the motherboard.
The sound is working in my system, but when I play CD music from
the CD-ROM, I do not get any sound. What is wrong?
This is because the 3-wire audio cable from the CD-ROM to the sound
card is not connected or it is loose.
The sound from my sound card is distorted when Windows starts.
What is wrong?
First, if you are using an ISA sound card, please make sure the IRQ
needed for the sound card is set to 'Legacy ISA' in the bios. In other words,
if your ISA sound card takes IRQ5, then set IRQ5 to 'Legacy ISA'. Next,
install the 'south bridge' driver for the motherboard.
The sound and everything else works fine except that the recorder and
microphone do not work. What is wrong?
BIOS Setup Utility SY-K7ADA
45
This is because the recorder and microphone in the Windows are not
enabled. Please go to sound properties and enable them.
Lock up (freeze)
When I boot up my system, everything works fine. It sees my CPU
and memory, detects my hard drive, floppy drive and CD-ROM but
locks up at "Verify DMI pool data... ", and it won’t go any further.
What should I do?
Please clear the CMOS ALi JP5 then choose 'load fail-safe default' in the
bios and save the bios and exit. Next, unplug all other add-on cards except
the video card and floppy drive controller, and see if it can boot from
floppy. Then put back the peripherals one by one to identify which one
causes the lockup.
I can not get my board to run properly.
Please make sure you have the latest bios and driver from the SOYO web
site at: http://www.soyo.com
2-3.11 Power OffThere are two possible ways to turn off the system:
1. Use the Shutdown command in the Start Menu of Windows 95/98
to turn off your computer.
2. Press the mechanical power-button and hold down for over 4
seconds, to shutdown the computer. If you press the power-button for
less than 4 seconds, then your system will enter into Suspend Mode.
You are now ready to configure your system with the BIOS setup program.

Motherboard, the drivers software available for installation, and a database
in HTML format with information on SOYO Motherboards and other
products.

If you use Windows 95 or 98, the SOYO CD Start Up Program
automatically detects which SOYO Motherboard you own and displays the
corresponding model name.
The user's manual files included on the SOYO CD are in PDF (Postscript
Document) format. In order to read a PDF file, the appropriate Acrobat
Reader software must be installed in your system.
Note: The Start Up program automatically detects if the Acrobat Reader
utility is already present in your system, and otherwise prompts you on
whether or not you want to install it. You must install the Acrobat Reader
utility to be able to read the user's manual file. Follow the instructions on
your screen during installation, then once the installation is completed,
restart your system and re-run the SOYO CD.
